These are the new packs painted. Brigand Characters, Brigands and Anglican League packs. I,ve photographed them in pairs as my camera seems to get confused if I take more than two figures. BillT wanted them for the show this weekend but I didn't know this until Wednesday so I'm giving them their debut here,enjoy.
The first two pics are of the Brigand character pack.

Excellent PJ.....I need a froth icon!
:)
-
Those first two look anything but "brigands", but great minis (and paintjobs) nevertheless.
-
Very nice looking figures well painted!
I must get me some of these!
-
vary nice
-
Very nice indeed, I love the way you painted the faces 8)
-
Brilliant!
-
That's a great range of figures.
-
Really good paintjob! Admire your style ;D
-

Thank you gentlemen, your comments are quite encouraging as I'm never completely happy with my work but I think it's the quest for perfection that keeps me going.
Geudens, I'm sorry to hear that your order is taking a while to arrive. I know BillT is has just made a move from Aberdare to Manchester and is finding it difficult to maintain the service he usually provides and he hasn't moved his casting equipment yet. He has to travel the long distance when he needs figures. I also know he has limited access to the internet. Bills' service was second to none before the move and I'm sure he'll be back on track as quickly as he can.

excellent paintjob on excellent figures
can anyone tall what kind of headgear this is? please?

Do you mean the generic type or that specific model? Some colourful names here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garrison_cap), no idea about the latter.
-
these are garisson caps?
look somehow different on the model
like knitwear

No problem, I'm confident as far as Bill is concerned, but just a little anxious... :-*

They are woollen 'comforters', typically portrayed on WW2 commando figures. Some where stitched into a crown, while others were just stitched straight across giving a ridge effect. One figure has a garrison cap though.
I wonder if Paul had to resist putting a 'bobble' on the one? :D
-
thank You
so these are folded down sides on the second figure

That's the one. Myself I'd prefer the woolly one. :)
-
Oh no! more of my pocket money to be spent at Crisis - excellent figures!
Graham

Lovely painting! Is the top right chap from the film of "Things to Come"? He looks just like one of the warlords who take control after the war.
-
IIRC Paul has commented elsewhere that 'Shapes of things' was the inspiration behind the brigands pack. So yes, that's the 'Boss' ;)
-
Thanks, Jim! I thought I recognised him.
Simon
-
He was an Original idea ;D. Well after I might have seen a Mlack and White film from the 1930s.
-
I'll erm back that up with this....

So I stand corrected, the figure is obviously 'not-the-boss' ;)
-
WOW there futer world looks kind of creepy
-
While it was the future in 1936, it is now the past. That bit is set in the 1970s if memory serves. I grew up in the 1970s and I don't remember it being like that.
(I had quite forgotten that it was Ralph Richardson as the Boss.)
-
It was just like that in 70's Wolverhampton. Except for the flying fascist formation parachute team anyway. :?
I do find it ironic that the 'fascist' society that they portrayed in the film as a positive thing would be the very thing that a few years later the world would be fighting against. :-I
-
thank You for introducing me to this remarkable movie. (watched the full version yesterday)
I never seen it before nor new it existed, allthough somehow aquainted with the work of H.G.Wells I am.
A pity there is no restored version, since the rough cut amounted some 120 min. of footage, and Wells seems to have had substantial artistic control, apart from the final cut down to 80 min.
I never seen such an interesting combination of "Civil War aesthetic" and "Raygun aesthetic ". It seems almost like there are 2 movies...
I'll have to watch it again, this is a key source of inspiration....
the way tanks are imagined to look in the future is interesting...
btw, the way the "wings over the world" society in 1970 is depicted, with their optimistic view of technology and industry, I think is not very far from actual 1970ies.
and the almost "on spot " prediction of the air raids against Britain is remarkable...
is this picture from the movie or from the real world? ;)

just my thoughts...
-
Oh wow. How did I miss this thread? Those sculpts are great, and the paint jobs most excellent!
-
former user, I think it is real photo posed for propaganda o the home front in WW2
-
oh, sorry - I should have made this clearer
I think it is real too, but I wanted to point out that it could have been from the movie produced 5 years earlier - same background, same costume, same setting
